One end of the body 10 in the +Z-axis direction is the top end 105, and one end of the body 10 in the -Z-axis direction is the bottom end 106.
[0049] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the printing device includes a carriage 20. The carriage 20 is disposed inside the body 10. The carriage 20 has a print head and a carriage. The print head can eject liquid onto the developing medium to form the text or pattern to be printed on the medium.
[0050] The carriage has a receiving space 201 which can accommodate the ink cartridge 100. The ink cartridge 100 stores the liquid required for printing. In some examples, the receiving space 201 can accommodate 4 ink cartridges 100.
[0051] The carriage 20 can reciprocate along the slide bar driven by the motor. The reciprocating movement of the carriage 20 is along the X-axis direction, that is, the left-right direction. It can be understood that the slide bar extends along the X-axis direction.
[0052] The printing device includes a machine cover 30. The machine cover 30 is rotatably mounted on the top 105 of the machine body 10. Opening the machine cover 30 can open the top 105 of the machine body 10. Closing the machine cover 30 can close the top 105 of the machine body 10.
[0053] The printing device includes a board member 40. The board member 40 is disposed inside the machine body 10 to protect the structure inside the printing device from being exposed. The material of the board member 40 can be plastic.
[0054] In the front-rear direction of the printing device, the board member 40 is located on the side of the carriage 20 closer to the rear end 103 of the machine body 10, that is, in the front-rear direction of the printing device, the board member 40 is located behind the carriage 20.
[0055] In the front-rear direction of the printing device, the board member 40 is located on the side of the carriage 20 closer to the top 105 of the machine body 10, that is, in the front-rear direction of the printing device, the board member 40 is located above the carriage 20.
[0056] The printing device includes a metal bracket 50. The material of the metal bracket 50 is metal.
[0057] In the front-rear direction of the printing device, the metal bracket 50 is closer to the rear end of the machine body 10 relative to the carriage 20, that is, in the front-rear direction of the printing device, the metal bracket 50 is located behind the carriage 20.
[0058] In the up-down direction of the printing device, the metal bracket 50 is farther from the top 105 of the machine body 10 relative to the board member 40, that is, the metal bracket 50 is located below the board member 40.
[0059] In the up-down direction of the printing device, a part of the metal bracket 50 is closer to the top of the machine body relative to the carriage 20, that is, in the up-down direction of the printing device, a part of the metal bracket 50 is located above the carriage 20. It can be understood that in the up-down direction of the printing device, a part of the metal bracket 50 is located above the carriage 20.
[0060] See Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the metal bracket 50 is provided with a separating portion 501, and the separating portion 501 separates the metal bracket 50 in the left - right direction of the printing device. With such a setting, the bending resistance of the metal bracket 50 can be enhanced. When the metal bracket 50 is subjected to an external force, the degree of bending of the metal bracket 50 can be reduced, with small bending deformation, avoiding affecting the normal movement of the carriage 20 and the installation of the ink cartridge 100.
[0061] Exemplarily, the metal bracket 50 is subjected to a force along the - Z - axis direction.
[0062] See Figure 3 As shown, the metal bracket 50 includes a first plate 51 and a second plate 52. Among them, the part of the metal bracket 50 located above the carriage 20 includes the first plate 51 and the second plate 52.
[0063] The first plate 51 intersects and connects with the second plate 52. In some examples, the first plate 51 is perpendicular to the second plate 52.
[0064] In the up - down direction of the printing device, the first plate 51 is higher than the second plate 52, that is to say, the first plate 51 is located above the second plate 52. In the front - rear direction of the printing device, the second plate 52 faces the front end 104 of the machine body 10.
[0065] The separating portion 501 is located on the first plate 51 and / or the second plate 52. Specifically, the separating portion 501 can be located on the first plate 51. Or, the separating portion 501 can also be located on the second plate 52. Or, the separating portion 501 can further be located on both the first plate 51 and the second plate 52.
[0066] Exemplarily, the separating portion 501 is located on the second plate 52. With such a setting, the bending resistance of the second plate 52 of the metal bracket 50 can be enhanced. When the metal bracket 50 is subjected to an external force, the degree of bending of the second plate 52 is reduced, with small bending deformation, avoiding the second plate 52 affecting the normal movement of the carriage 20 and the installation of the ink cartridge 100.
[0067] The number of the separating portions 501 can be one or multiple. Exemplarily, multiple separating portions 501 are provided on the second plate 52 of the metal bracket 50, and the multiple separating portions 501 are arranged at intervals in the left - right direction of the printing device. With such a setting, in the left - right direction of the printing device, the second plate 52 is separated into multiple segments by the multiple separating portions 501. When the metal bracket 50 is subjected to an external force, the multiple segments can disperse the stress, enhancing the bending resistance of the second plate 52 of the metal bracket 50, avoiding the second plate 52 affecting the normal movement of the carriage 20 and the installation of the ink cartridge 100.
[0068] Furthermore, the multiple separating portions 501 are arranged at equal intervals in the left - right direction of the printing device.
[0069] In a possible implementation, the metal bracket 50 has a center line L extending in the vertical direction of the printing device. In the left-right direction of the printing device, the metal bracket 50 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line L.
[0070] Among them, one of the plurality of separating parts 501 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line L.
[0071] One side of the center line in the +X-axis direction is the left side. One side of the center line in the -X-axis direction is the right side.
[0072] Furthermore, in the left-right direction of the printing device, at least one separating part 501 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line L. That is, at least one separating part 501 is arranged on the left side of the center line, and at least one separating part 501 is arranged on the right side of the center line. All the separating parts 501 on the left side and all the separating parts 501 on the right side are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line L.
[0073] In a possible implementation, as Figure 3 shown, the separating part 501 includes a depression. Exemplarily, in the front-back direction of the printing device, the second plate 52 can be stamped to form a depression. With such an arrangement, when the second plate 52 of the metal bracket 50 is provided with a plurality of depressions, the second plate 52 is separated into multiple segments by the plurality of depressions. When the metal bracket 50 is subjected to an external force, the multiple segments can disperse the stress, strengthen the bending resistance of the second plate 52, reduce the bending degree of the second plate 52, have small bending deformation, avoid the second plate 52 affecting the normal movement of the carriage 20, and avoid the second plate 52 affecting the installation of the ink cartridge 100.
[0074] In other embodiments, a part of the second plate 52 can be cut off to form a depression.
[0075] Embodiment Two
[0076] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown. The difference between the printing device in Embodiment Two and the printing device in Embodiment One is that the structure of the separating part 501 is different. The separating part 501 in Embodiment Two includes a separating opening.
[0077] Among them, the shape of the separating opening can be square. In other embodiments, the shape of the separating opening can also be other shapes.
[0078] In the vertical direction of the printing device, the separating opening penetrates one end of the second plate 52 facing the bottom end 106 of the machine body 10.
[0079] In the front-back direction of the printing device, the separating opening penetrates the second plate 52.
[0080] For the structure of the remaining part, Example 2 is the same as Example 1.
[0081] Example 3
[0082] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the difference between the printing device in Example 3 and the printing device in Example 2 is that the shape of the partition opening is L-shaped.
[0083] The partition opening is not only located on the second plate 52 but also on the first plate 51. In the vertical direction of the printing device, the partition opening penetrates through the first plate 51. In the front-rear direction of the printing device, the partition opening penetrates through the second plate 52.
[0084] For the structure of the remaining part, Example 3 is the same as Example 2.
[0085] Example 4
[0086] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the difference between the printing device in Example 4 and the printing device in Example 4 is that in the vertical direction of the printing device, the partition opening does not penetrate through one end of the second plate facing the bottom end 106 of the body 10.
[0087] For the structure of the remaining part, Example 4 is the same as Example 3.
[0088] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
